What is an Environmental Impact Study?
Otherwise known as an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA), an EIS is a tool for assessing the impacts of development on the natural environment. This may include a combination of background research, field surveys, regulatory approvals, and mitigation planning.

What are the requirements for an EIS?
An EIS is typically prepared by an ecologist or other qualified professional with expertise in ecosystem characterization and impact assessment.
As with any professional service, the cost varies based on the complexity of the project. One of the most important factors influencing cost is the numbers of field surveys required to complete the study. We are open and transparent about our fees - give us a call to discuss!
In some cases, an EIS can be completed based on a single field survey. We prioritize the schedules of our clients, often offering a turn-around time of weeks, not months.
We strive to work collaboratively with clients and approval agencies to seek solutions. Our work receives consistent agency approvals in jurisdictions across Ontario.
Most planning authorities have specific guidelines for how to prepare an Environmental Impact Study within their jurisdiction. Here's an example guideline for EIS reports in the County of Bruce planning area: https://www.brucecounty.on.ca/environmental-impact-study-guidelines
